Or Manchu...
Here is my Cro->HRE game
I was having alot of luck in the game. Turkey didn't attacked me, and i did randomly get the emperor title, and from that date, i started to steam roll everyone.
First victim
What to say, after the war, France didn't conquer anymore and it was slowly dying. After 23 years they were a minor nation.
Second victim(first as emperor)
Killed Scandinavia, they are a minor nation now
Third victim(second as emperor)
Turkey was the strongest nation in the world! I was having ready a 100k army against them, but it was not even enough to kill them. Thanx to my vassals (Austria!) i managed to throw them away from my border, and release Rome.
I'm so edgy, I've been called a sword.
I'm so rational, I've been mistaken for Descartes.
I'm so noble, I've been crowned a King.
I'm such a rebel, I rebelled from the Rebel Alliance, and then rebelled from that Rebellion.
I have such little admiration, I shot myself in the face twice in order to prove how little of an achievement surviving a gunshot is.
I'm so manly, my muscles have muscles, and those muscles work out regularly. - Morgothic

So as of 1680 I have achieved my goal - the world has been reduced to my one-province Netherlands and its 204 vassals and 7 unions. Huzzah!
It's not pretty, but it is pretty awesome.

Nicely done! But you didn't colonize everything. (Never mind the fact that with another 140 years you could do it easily. Actually, now that I think about it, colonization would be tricky if you're trying to remain an OPM. You'd have to rely on vassals, unless you count colonizing and then immediately selling the province to a vassal. But with that method you couldn't get inland colonies.)
I'd imagine you're doing pretty good in tech.
Isn't the idea of vassalage that a powerful, strong (and probably BIG) nation protects some weaker (and probably SMALLER) nations? ... Oh, nevermind, forget it...
Seriously, i think this is the most awesome thing i've seen so far in EU3. I even think this is better than any traditional WC!

Awesome job. Did you get the achievement for that?
Happy thoughts, happy thoughts...
Please do not quote such large posts without deleting the pictures.
Forgive my skepticism, but I tried a similar thing as Ulm once and my Infamy was in the several hundreds. Some nations needed to be annexed in quick wars and released quickly which lead to some intense infamy. How did you manage larger countries like Wu(or is that Qin)?
My Duh, HRE reforms for most of Europe and Holy war annexation/release for the rest of the world infamy-free, right?

Oak Grove students get creative with "CANstruction"Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Kids got creative for a cause this morning in the Oak Grove gymnasium.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Kids got creative for a cause this morning in the Oak Grove gymnasium.
Students constructed designs out of the food cans going to the Fill the Dome drive. They call it "CANstruction."
When they finished, a panel judged their aluminum masterpieces. The school has had some impressive entries in the past.
Ben Goehring, Oak Grove senior, says, "every year we don't know what we're gonna get for CANstruction. We've had the entire national mall of the United States built, we've had the Nebraska Cornhuskers football stadium built, and it's really awesome to see because a lot of us don't know what each grade's gonna build."
Fill the Dome was created by high school student council leaders in 2007.

MONTROSE – Good old-fashioned ice cream parlors, although not as common as they once were, can have the power to take you to a different time and place. The new Main Street Ice Cream Bar in downtown Montrose does just that, with help from antique furnishings, decor and cool cream treats.
Owner Kellie Hartman opened the bar July 1, just in time for the summer heat, at 345 East Main St. next door to the local Great Harvest Bread Company franchise that Kellie also owns and operates with her husband, Kevin.
"We were hoping to fill a little niche downtown. We're trying to be as vintage as possible," Hartman said.
Servers in paper hats and red bow-ties serve up cold ice cream, handcrafted sodas (with paper straws!) and sundaes with dozens of toppings from behind their antique ice cream fountain dating back to the 1940s.
The fountain was originally installed in the Dunbar Rexall Drug Store in downtown Delta in the 1940s. When the Rexall store closed, the fountain was moved to the nearby Comet Drug Store. The Hartmans were able to purchase the fountain, and have now installed it in the same space that once was the Busy Corner Pharmacy in downtown Montrose.
Hartman was inspired by a time when she and her grandparents would go out for ice cream sodas, a treat she says younger generations are missing out on.
"Back in the day, there were maybe three ice cream stores," Hartman said of downtown Montrose. Not any more. "I don't think there has been a ice cream store downtown since maybe the 1980s."
The fountain came complete with the store's original spinning stools, counter and the fountainette that stores all the ice cream. Vintage signs and decorations from the Comet and Busy Corner are also on display.
Hartman said the menu is mostly old-fashioned ice cream parlor favorites, but that many of the old standbys, although with a twist – like the "Mr. Potato Head" sundae, made of vanilla ice topped with peanut butter sauce, caramel whipped cream and potato chips.
More signature sundaes include the Comet Drug, Black Canyon, Busy Corner and the Delta Dunbar, named after the former Delta drug stores and soda fountains.
"We're just trying to bring back that old-fashioned kind of feeling, and create a place where you can bring the family," Hartman said.
Hartman said all the syrups, sodas and ice cream are made with local ingredients, and the cream is supplied by Rocking W Dairy in Olathe.
"We're trying to use as much Colorado as we can," Hartman said, noting that many chocolate treats are made by companies in Denver and Boulder.
The Main Street Ice Cream Bar opened with help from the Downtown Development Authority and its program to provide low-income loans to help with building restoration.
It's open Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m., and Sunday, 12-9:30 p.m.

text: I have considered your second suggestion for some time, and you are right, there has to be a way to make it look more like it is finished. The bathroom is on the second floor, the duct work is between the floor joists which were on 12" centers. Once they had put in the ductwork and had it routed the way they did, it would have been very difficult to fix, even with the ceiling still open. So we did not try to change it, but of course I was not aware of exactly where we were going to find the toilet positioned until much later.

It is such a beautiful dress! I bought it for a wedding and I got so many compliments on it!. I am 5.2 so it is a bit long, but it looks great!!. I love this dress!!!....
I have been drooling over this dress for months and finally ordered it for a friends wedding. I was a little peeved when I ordered because I'm usually a 16 and had to order a 4X so..... That's crazy. It arrived and I am so disappointed. If I had tried it on in the store, I would never have purchased it. It absolutely does NOT hit just below the knee. It's closer to my ankle bone than my knees. I'm...
I never write reviews but im so glad i got this dress, I bought it for vlv16 for Saturday night and I got a lot of nice compliments. The color of the dress is more like a green mint color it's not blue! It fits me perfectly true to its size, I'm 5'2 and fits me below my knees....
I bought this dress for my prom, and it fit everything I was looking for. Like the person who reviewed before me said, if you're short, it's more of a tea length than a knee length. However, it is GORGEOUS. The boning in the bodice is lovely, as is the color- It looks blue here, don't be mistaken. It's green....
This color is really pretty and the top fits beautifully. I would recommend ordering a size up. Also, the dress is much poofy-er than it looks on the model so be ready to have it steamed before you wear it. Also, if you are short, you will need to get this heemed because it is more tea-length than knee length....

Summary of Debt-Free U Summary of Debt-Free U Reviews for Debt-Free U An Excerpt from Debt-Free U
This book can save you over $100,000"If the National Association for College Admissions Counseling had anticipated the dire consequences of one of the smartest teenagers in America encountering the ill-examined assumptions of their profession, they might have found some way to buy him off, maybe a full ride scholarship to Harvard. Too late. Bissonnette is 21 now, a senior at the University of Massachusetts. He has written the best and most troubling book ever about the college admissions process."
These days, most people assume you need to pay a boatload of money for a quality college education. As a result, students and their parents are willing to go into years of debt and potentially sabotage their entire financial futures just to get a fancy name on their diploma.
But Zac Bissonnette is walking proof that this assumption is not only false, but dangerous-a class con game designed to rip you off and doom your student to a post-graduation life of near poverty . From his unique double perspective-he's a personal finance expert (at Daily Finance) AND a current senior at the University of Massachusetts-Zac figured out how to get an outstanding education at a public college, without bankrupting his parents or taking on massive loans.
Armed with his personal knowledge, the latest data, and smart analysis, Zac takes on the sacred cows of the higher education establishment. He reveals why a lot of the conventional wisdom about choosing and financing college is not only wrong but hazardous to you and your child's financial future. You'll discover, for instance, that:
* Student loans are NOT a necessary evil. Ordinary middle class families can- and must-find ways to avoid them, even without scholarships.
* College "rankings" are useless-designed to sell magazines and generate hype. If you trust one of the major guides when picking a college, you face a potential financial disaster.
* The elite graduate programs accept lots of people with non-elite bachelors degrees. So do America's most selective employers. The name on a diploma ultimately won't help your child have a more successful career or earn more money.
Zac can prove every one of those bold assertions - and more. No matter what your current financial situation, he has a simple message for parents: "RELAX! Your kid will be able to get a champagne education on a beer budget!"
-Jay Mathews, The Washington Post
"Let Zac Bissonnette help you plan for college-where to go, what to study, and how to pay for it-and you will finish rich"
-David Bach #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire and Start Late, Finish Rich
"In the new economy, your college choice is critical. Zac Bissonnette's Debt- Free U is the one book you need to make this life-changing decision-- thoroughly researched, smart, and funny. Grade: A+."
-Ali Rogers, CBS Moneywatch. Author, Diary of a Real Estate Rookie
"With Bissonnette, college-bound students and their parents finally have an unbiased source to help make an educated decision about choosing and affording college. Not to mention, his advice can help you pocket tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Want to make a smart investment in this economy? Buy Debt-Free U."
-Farnoosh Torabi, financial expert and author of Psych Yourself Rich

Here's how RW members rated this race (30 votes).
In short: Fantastic organisation, and for the majority of the time fantastic scenery too. A good mix of runnefsDate of review: June 27, 2012
In short: Amazing experience, superb raceIn full: Not sure what people were expecting from the reviews posted so far. Complaints about the cost? Do you understand the logistics involved in organising an event that spans so many boundaries and the various permissions required, including getting close to the Wall itself. Complaints about the medal? I couldn't care less about what they hang around my neck, the race itself is why I enter. Didn't get to see much of the Wall? Open your eyes, man - I actually reached out and touched the flaming thing!!!Anyway, I thought it was superb - incredibly well organised, although there were some issues with idiots messing about with signage, this was dealt with (including sending out a cyclist ahead of the runners to check). It is simply not realistic to have someone posted at every turning point. The route itself was a mix of road and trails, with the appalling weather making both waterlogged. However, the prepared (decent shoes, socks, Body Glide, some training) wouldn't had a problem with this, in fact I found it enhanced the challenge. The checkpoints were well stocked with drinks and snacks. The halfway camp was decent, with a massage tent and food available. If I had one criticism it would be on the catering choice - burgers and hog roast are not my preferred running fuel. The option of pasta or porridge would've been welcome. And to the ignorant moron who thought it was ok to go to sleep in the early hours of the morning with your radio playing - you sir are an a*se. The second half was my favourite part, running through some beautiful countryside, before a cracking finish along the Quayside and over the Millennium Bridge. An unforgettable experience. I will be back for the Expert race next year.Pros - organisation, scenery, challenge, the fact I won the two-day event!Cons - need a better choice of catering, a map needed as a backup should signage fail.Date of review: June 27, 2012
In short: like many others dissappointed with the medal and the tshirts for £150 for the expert 24 hours run which someone who done it over two days or in a relay had exactly the same The course was on the roads for too long and a more cross country In full: course would have been better but a very good run and there are always problems in running a new route so this run i can see only getting better and better and becoming a must for all runners for years to come :-)Date of review: June 27, 2012
In short: i loved it!In full: yes it was pricey but its a first time event. The amount of food on offer was excellent yep it may have been soup and a roll advertised (soup was awful)there were plenty of sandwiches chocolate cakes etc also would also have preferred some spaghetti to go with the bolgnese rather than a roll. The course was brilliant campsite ok showers well run cleaned after each use. would have preferred to have had the opportunity to test rat race beer on finishing not halfway when you have another days running ahead. Marshalls brilliant however a little countdown of last three miles wouldnt go a miss loved the bridge finish not sure why photographer wouldnt take a photo of me finishing though I know i looked rough but hey! So proud of myself and definitely one to do brilliant organisation would defo do another rat race challengeDate of review: June 27, 2012
In short: Pricey - but very goodIn full: Yes it is an expensive event - £140 early bird 2 day challenger - but I enjoyed every mile even the very painful, slow ones heading into Gateshead.The marshals at the checkpoints and pitstops were excellent and very suppottive. Plenty of water, sweets, sandwichs, cake, etc. The route was clearly waymarked along its entire length and I had no problems following the markers.I thought the route itself was on the whole good, ok there was alot of road running but this was mainly on quiet country lanes and I never felt "exposed" to traffic. There were also a few tough offroad sections which sapped the energy from the legs and the hill at 33 miles certainly took the wind from my sail! 69 miles is a long way, even over 2 days and I think it would be difficult to improve the route as it is a point to point between 2 cities and inevitability roads have to be included. The finish over the millenium bridge was great, lots of clapping and cheering supporters and Sunday shoppers. Medal and goodie bag was ok but I didnt run 69 miles with the hope of getting great goodies at the end, I did it because it was hard and I wanted to test myself.This was my first experience of an ultra and it has left me wanting more, I just hope the next one I run will be as good.Date of review: June 27, 2012
In short: Fantastic views but expensive and medal is a huge disappointment after going the distanceIn full: The views were great and everyone that i ran with seemed like they were enjoying themselves until the latter stages when the non stop raining had dampened spirits and none of the checkpoints or pit stops had anything to help soaking feet. Even if someone had gone to a supermarket to get some talcum powder it would of been a huge relief. I just got a shrug of the shoulders when i asked a 'medical' helper what to do. You pay £150 for the expert 1 day race and i just cant see where the money went, the latter stages weren't very well signposted as someone had messed with them, the medals were shocking - didn't even differentiate between an expert / challenger / relay or whether you did it over 2 days or not?? Really feel let down by Rat Race with this one.Date of review: June 27, 2012
In short: After Feels amazing ....In full: Having read the other reviews .... well yes it was pricey £170 for two days, but you got to run (or scramble on hands and knees at one point on day two!) through amazing scenery with great support from marshals (although it would have been nice if they could have accurately told you distance covered so far) great support and welcome over the finishing line. what real made it special was the support from fellow runners - great race a true achievement to complete in one piece! Date of review: June 26, 2012
In short: Not just any run, but hardest thing I have ever done.In full: Anyone that entered the event must have been committed, as the price was somewhat on the high side (£170 Early Bird).The communication from the start was very good, with an excellent event web page.The organisation of the event itself was very good, and there were no problems regarding the route, as it was very well marshalled and marked. However it may be an idea to give each runner a route booklet at registration to allow them to follow on the hoof.I won't say much about the route, it was Hadrian's wall country and therefore hilly but scenic, the real difficulty with this run was the sheer distance. The overnight stop for relay and challengers was spot on, but a better meal option than soup and rolls (Remember the Price) a pot of pasta would have gone down a treat.Pit stops had everything that was needed, but should have had better, and identifiable camelback filling points. Too many runners filling up from the juice area, stopping anyone else getting a drink.Now for the finish, which is where a lot of events let themselves down. I would say 8 out of 10, everything was there and easy to get to, but after 69 mile it would have been nice for someone to put the medal round my neck, and although I am not a medal grabber, the medal for this event does not reflect the enormity of what was achieved or the entry fee, very very poor quality.But overall I am pleased I did this, the organisation was spot on, and would I do it again? Good God NO, but that's because I do not want to put myself through that again ever, but would I recommend it yes, its an experience. Date of review: June 25, 2012
In short: Ups and downs...In full: For a long time after putting in my entry to this race I thought to myself 'how the hell can they justify charging £150 for a single day point to point race?' I'm still not sure I know. Maybe I got caught up by the 'you've had 2000 years to train' blurb...There's no accounting for the weather, which was shocking. Supposedly some last minute changes were made to the route but that didn't stop everyone being up to their ankles in water within 15 minutes. Still, it's supposed to be a challenge.On balance I did enjoy this race. There was some great scenery in the middle part and the finish in Newcastle made all the toil worthwhile.Plus points:Scenery (some of it), finish, pit stops (packet sandwiches - get in!), route marking (fair play for doing all 69 miles).Bad points: First stage (dire - 15 miles of dull road running (and I like road running!)), no route map (made it hard to gauge progress), marshalls at checkpoints/pit stops were not properly briefed on distances (again, making it hard to gauge progress), registration the night before (why? Cost me a night's accommodation in Carlisle and for what?), entry fee (organisation was good, pit stops were good, finish was good, but for £150, really? I can do a multi-day with food and accommodation for less than that). Oh, and I'm sure those who entered as 'challengers' enjoyed paying an extra £50 and then being given 'free camping'. Come to think of it, bag transfer was 'free' too, so where did all my money go? Could have hired a limo for my bag for less than that...Anyway, I nailed the distance so on balance I'm happy. However, anyone wanting to run Hadrian's Wall would be better off just doing the second leg (about 17 miles) off their own back and leaving the rest of it. But then again there was something about seeing those bridges after 13 hours...Date of review: June 25, 2012
In short: Good race but feel a bit ripped off In full: Generally a very good race with some nice touches like the feed stations , finish line and bag drops. A couple of niggles thoughRubbish medals that don't even distinguish whether you did the 1 day or 2 day eventLong stretches in the gutter on a roads were dangerousNo marshals apart from at checkpoints. Kids enjoy moving arrows! Goodie bags too full of expensive printed tourist literature rather than stuff to help runnersHardly saw hadrians wall- incredibly disappointing the route had long sections of roadAll in all slightly underwhelmed that £150 didn't buy better service and rewards. In your first year running a race, with such high entry fees, surely you give entrants such a feel good feeling they tell all their mates ? Date of review: June 24, 2012

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) - Police say a car dragged a man for about 4 miles before another motorist alerted the driver that the victim was under the vehicle.
The accident occurred Saturday on Richmond Road in James City County.
Police tell media outlets that the 31-year-old victim and the driver were racing when the victim lost control of his car. The vehicle hydroplaned, spun several times and hit a tree. The victim was ejected.
The other car ran over the man and dragged him. The driver told police he thought he had run over debris from the wreck.
Police say the victim suffered serious injuries and was taken to a hospital. Two passengers in his car, an 8-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy, suffered non-life threatening injuries.
No charges have been filed.

An aneurysm is an outpouching of a blood vessel wall. This can occur anywhere there are blood vessels, including in the brain. The bulging, blood-filled pocket can put pressure on parts of the brain, potentially causing symptoms. In addition, the blood vessel can rupture (hemorrhage). Early detection and diagnosis may help prevent severe or fatal complications in some patients. Many aneurysms go unnoticed for a lifetime and cause no symptoms.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Other medical conditions; lifestyle factors; as well as the type, size, and location of the aneurysm will direct treatment. For a known aneurysm that is not leaking or ruptured, treatment options include the following:
Your doctor may need to monitor you to see if the aneurysm gets larger or begins to leak.
Medicines are not used to fix an aneurysm. Medicines may be used to help lower blood pressure, treat pain, or stop side effects of the aneurysm, like seizures.
During this procedure, a catheter is thread up to the aneurysm. Coils, a special liquid, or balloons are used to fill the aneurysm and stop circulation, causing it to clot. This may need to be done more than once.
Surgical options include microvascular clipping or occlusion.

There's no telling exactly what will dispel the crisis of confidence dogging the markets for corporate equity and debt. The crisis only deepened in June when WorldCom, the former high-flying telecommunications company, disclosed that it had overstated its cash flow for the previous five quarters by almost $4 billion. With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices dropping to five-year lows, the stakes for CFOs obviously are huge. But CFOs themselves surely can extinguish doubt by improving their financial reporting practices and, at least in some cases, by frankly acknowledging the need for improvement in the first place.
Some companies are taking steps in that direction, however haltingly. Among them are Cisco Systems, General Electric, IBM, Krispy Kreme, Priceline.com, and Sears, Roebuck. And a new survey of senior financial executives at publicly traded companies by CFO magazine points to others. Almost 60 percent say they have disclosed more information to investors during the past 3 months, and a similar proportion plans to disclose more during the next 12 months. On the other hand, the remaining 40 percent saw no need to disclose more.
However, the survey also suggests that many companies must do much more. Over half (54 percent) of the 141 respondents say they report pro forma results in quarterly earnings releases, but 18 percent of those that use pro forma don't reconcile those results to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), even though the Securities and Exchange Commission has advised companies to do so. Even more troubling, 17 percent of all respondents report being pressured to misrepresent their results by their companies' CEOs during the past five years.
Of all respondents, 5 percent say their reporting practices have violated GAAP. Those abuses most often involve reserves and revenue recognition.
How likely is it that the offending companies will clean up their acts? Both our survey results and anecdotal evidence suggest that companies are changing their practices so reluctantly that they risk undercutting whatever trust such moves might regenerate.
Under Suspicion
The need for improvement, and for acknowledging it, seems indisputable. Although the economy shows signs of recovery, the capital markets continue to labor under a cloud of suspicion, much of it directed at the integrity of corporate financial statements.
Some CFOs concede that they have a responsibility to help restore trust. "Because of Enron, companies are really held to a higher standard in terms of what they're reporting," says Randy Casstevens, CFO of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc., a doughnut retailer and franchiser based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. "We want to do whatever we can to increase public confidence in us."
A big question, however, is whether companies are capable of that in the absence of new rules and regulations. Says Casstevens: "It will take a combination" of action in the private and public arenas to restore confidence.
The CFO survey of corporate financial reporting suggests that other financial executives are resisting the kind of change that might go some ways toward alleviating investor suspicion. Of the respondents to our survey who take debt off the balance sheet through special-purpose entities (SPEs), almost 80 percent say they have no plans to consolidate any of it. And that's so despite the fact that almost 42 percent guarantee the investments of outside investors in such deals. Under existing accounting rules, the assets of SPEs must be consolidated when outside investors' stakes are protected in that fashion.

ATLANTA (AP) — Police say they're investigating a hit-and-run accident that left a motorcyclist dead in metro Atlanta.
DeKalb County police say the Sunday night collision happened at Moreland Avenue and South River Industrial Boulevard.
A witness, L.C. Wheat, said that he was sitting in his car at the intersection when he saw a car collide with the motorcycle, sending the bike flying into the air.
Wheat says the motorist who struck the bike drove off, so he called 911 and began following the driver.
Authorities say a motorist was taken into custody in connection with the crash. Details of the arrest were not immediately available early Monday.
The identity of the motorcyclist who was killed was not released.

I only joined CC a few weeks ago but I have been playing risk for over 20 years and I love the game. A game of risk should be fun and I personally enjoy seeking out a continent for a small bonus and proding my opponents borders until the cashes eventually end the game. I have resorted to your so called "escalating strategy" in certain scenerios but to use that as a sole strategy must get redundant and lame. Anyone can stack all their men on one territory and only attacks weak territories that surround them for a card until the cash reaches freakin' 80 or whatever, but that takes no strategy and actually makes the game boring. The game should be about maneuvering and shifting alliances, which comes about best when each player focuses on one or two key regions or continents. Not about creating "stacks". I find the Conquer Cup tournament very boring and disappointing because their are so many supposed "masters at escalating strategy" who have lost focus of the game and ruin it for those of us are here to enjoy ourselves. I got a new term, "stackers", and I won't be using it to describe someone in a positive manner.
Chariot of Fire wrote:
Your definition of a 'stacker' (as you've publicly complained about in Game 10038531) is rather misguided. Pink has a presence in five of the six continents - essential to stand a decent chance of eliminating a player whilst also remaining safe himself - while you yourself are confined and vulnerable, as is blue. If anyone was stacking it was you (on Dubai) which has cost you your troops in NA and in all likelihood any chance of winning the game.
You'll find the best (i.e. most successful) players are those who don't create stacks, by your definition, but who ensure they retain a good spread across the board. Who is harder to kill - the player with 6 x 4s spread over six continents or the player with 24 troops covering all six territories in Africa for a measly bonus (measly relative to the value of trades come Round 6)?
As equally important as personal growth in esc games is the protection of other players to prevent them being eliminated by a 3rd party. What's frustrating to a lot of seasoned players is to see their 'safe' 3 or 4 get whacked by someone hell-bent on taking a bonus. In my experience a bonus on the Classic map has never contributed to a win (not when there are four or more players).
This game (CC) can never really compare to playing the board game because it lacks the dynamic of ongoing conversation between the protagonists (you're one of the few, looking at your game chat, who actively seeks to make truces in esc games). Noobs also make mistakes that can cost games, e.g. believing they can attack St.Petersburg from Belarus on the Europe map

Battling my own demons at the moment. I used to play only one or two multiplayer esc at the same time, but at the mo whilst I'm not in many team games I've immersed myself in a lot more. Have just run through my games and of the last 10 where I've held 4 cards at a critical time to trade I've been sitting on two pairs in nine of those 10 games. Wonder what the odds of that is?

Six Engaging End-of-Year ProjectsMay 21, 2012 | Rebecca Alber
I don't know about your students, but so many of mine, coupled with Senioritis, were DONE after state testing. (The well had run dry, no blood from a turnip -- all those sayings applied!) With just a few precious weeks left in the school year, what do you do to keep the kids energized and onboard with learning?
One thing I knew for sure when it came to my high schools students: They have to feel as if they aren't actually doing work. (Yep, you have to trick them!) And whatever you do plan, three elements are essential: choices, creativity, and constructing. In other words, as long as you present options then have them create something that includes using their imaginations, you really can't go wrong.
Consider these projects (and if rigor is on your mind, I've included the cognitive demands):
#1) Show What You Know Give students an opportunity to teach the rest of the class something, like origami, a new app, or a martial arts self-defense move (design, construct, apply).
#2) On-Campus Field Trips:
- Take them outside to write observational notes on what they see through the eyes of a scientist, historical figure, artist, a character from a book or film (discover, examine, report)
- Journey to the library for a Scavenger Hunt. There's many online that you can revise to fit your content and/or interests of your students (locate, investigate, compile)
- Join another class and have a Poetry Slam, Science or Math Mini Fare. This gives students a chance to share a project or product with a different audience. Consider doing this in a neutral zone like the cafeteria or library (discover, demonstrate, evaluate)
#3) Own a ... Planet, Song, Decade, Career, Author, Country, Scientist, Medical Breakthrough With this activity, the student becomes an expert on whatever she/he chooses and then presents it to the class or in small groups. The product can be, for example, a mini-book, PowerPoint, or iMovie (select, prepare, research, design).
#4) Craft a New Ending Students take their favorite book, speech, short story, poem, or historical event and write a new ending. Ask them to also include rationale for their ending. They can also illustrate it (infer, devise, conclude, reflect).
#5) Create a Commercial Host a class competition where students cast a vote, and give an award to the team that produces the most clever, creative 30-second advertisement. Decide first as a class on the product to be pitched (plan, design, critique).
#6) Portfolio Showcase Students compile a collection of their best work from the school year or last semester, and include explanations for their choices. This could be done in hard copy or digitally, and can include illustrations and photos (select, assess, categorize, prepare).
Whatever you decide to do with the last handful of instructional days, stay flexible, open, and take the journey with your students. Testing is over. Have some fun.
What are successful end-of-the-year projects you've used in your classroom? Please share!

Showcase on thePortfolium!
Great article! I especially like #6! thePortfolium.com is a great platform for students to create free portfolios where they can network with their classmates and find others with similar interests. www.thePortfolium.com
My PLC came up with an idea a
My PLC came up with an idea a few years back that keeps the students engage after testing and can be useful for there entire life.
Disaster Preparedness.
Check out the final Product on Prezi.com
There are several under the topic which our students have completed in the past. Usually completed in June or July.
We are just about to get started on presenting the info. through our Active inspire software on our Promethean Board.
This is a really great blog
This is a really great blog topic. All of the ideas that you presented are excellent. Not only are they engaging, but they also appear to be rigorous. It is so important to keep students actively engaged in learning, especially at the end of the school year. Many students feel that school is simply a waste of time after they have taken the state test, primarily because we put so much of an emphasis on it. I think I will definitely try #5 creating a commercial.
Thank you for the great list of ideas. I teach math to juniors and seniors and often encounter students with Senior-itis. I can definitely incorporate the "On-Campus Field Trip" idea as well as the "Create a Commercial" idea. I have been developing an activity to transform a print ad from a magazine. I am thinking that the students will alter the existing ad by selling the product using math. For instance, I have an ad for Snickers candy bar. The ad shows a rectangle, that represents the Snickers bar and a jagged edged circle that represents a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. Using symbols the sales pitch is: rectangle > circle. Very clever.
Playing Educational Games
I agree with many of you that my kids are spent!!! We are daily playing a game that reinforces the skills they have learned all year. For example, "Spelling Up" played like "Heads Up 7 UP" but they have to spell words to stay up front. Or "Four Corners" where they are asked math questions about things we have learned all year, for example, what are two multiples of 8, or what is a prime number. They love competition!!! We are still learning but it is fun!
10 Simple Challenges for the Classroom, Camp, or Home
These challenges are great for those last few days when high engagement is key. http://scan-werecriticaltothinking.blogspot.com/2012/05/10-simple-activi... Keep them challenged!
Bringing it all together
The end of the year is a great time to give students project that have them review knowledge and skills they practiced all year.
One of my favorite projects is the Million Dollar Project. Tell students they have a million dollars to spend. They need to account for the whole amount to the cent. They must list their resources (research and citation). They must categorize their purchases and report categories on a circle graph (converting fractions/decimals/percents + graphing). They can report their themes and their spending in any form they choose (speaking, technology).
It's amazing how many fifth graders begin by buying candy and such. They realize just how much a million dollars is...until they try to buy real estate in Hong Kong...

Class brochure
I have my 4th grade students write a brochure of what to expect in 4th grade. The brochures are then put out the first day ofnesite most of my class each fall is comprised of students coming from other schools, so the brochures are a way for them to learn about me, my classroom, the GATE program, and their new school.
I'm also going to try a new project this year courtesy of teacherspayteachers.com. they will create a Diary of a Fourth Grader Memory book.
Real World Connections
My textbooks (by Glencoe) has multiple real world problems in most lessons. Toward the end of the year, each student chooses a different problem to present to the class. They don't have to explain the math...just make the connection. For example, a student constructed a three foot tall roller coaster last year and told the class which lessons they had learned in Algebra 2 would be useful in the field of designing roller coasters. Another student built a one foot tall model ferris wheel to show what angles and measurements were being asked for in a trigonometry word problem. The students usually make A's, because I get really great work, the choices are virtually unlimited (several use an internet site for their visual aid if they cannot afford to build one) and the presentations are usually very enjoyable.

Sadly, one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer during their lives. While you can still do your part by buying certain pink products or doing a 5K run, one of the easiest things to do is get informed. Whether you know someone who has breast cancer, you're going through it yourself, or you'd simply like to learn more, we've gathered 12 of the best books on the topic. Like the experience itself, some are heavy, some uplifting, some funny, but each offer insight into courageous women battling cancer. The Middle Place What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kelly Corrigan is a mother, wife, and newspaper columnist when she discovers a lump in her breast. As she's undergoing treatment, she finds out her father has cancer, too. Even though The Middle Place deals with heavy material, the memoir delivers honesty and ultimately is about an adult straddling the lines of mother and daughter, and finding her inner strength. 1 / 12 Cancer Vixen What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Marisa Acocella Marchetto bases her graphic memoir off this one question: "What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, about-to-get-married big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds . . . a lump in her breast?" In Cancer Vixen: A True Story, she answers the question with humor, courage, and cartoons just as bold as her message. 2 / 12 Hanging Out With Lab Coats What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hanging Out With Lab Coats: Hope, Humor & Help for Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers has been called informative and inspirational in its approach to breast cancer. Wendi Fox Pedicone details her own experience, personally and professionally, dealing with the cancer and offers information on different treatments available. 3 / 12 Metu and Lee Learn About Breast Cancer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Using characters like chemo commando, Metu and Lee Learn About Breast Cancer is a book by Dr. Shenin Sachedina for children five and up whose mothers have breast cancer. Illustrations also help discuss topics like surgery, radiation, and normal fears. 4 / 12 The Courage Muscle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Monique Doyle Spencer wrote The Courage Muscle: A Chicken's Guide to Living with Breast Cancer after she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer at age 46. The book acts as a humorous guide for breast cancer patients and family members while tackling typical fears. All proceeds benefit the oncology department Windows of Hope at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. 6 / 12 The Victoria's Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Jennie Nash wrote The Victoria's Secret Catalog Never Stops Coming: And Other Lessons I Learned from Breast Cancer, she did so from the perspective of a 36-year-old "wise old woman." As the book description details, her survivor's memoir is about "both the large and small lessons learned along the way: the importance of a child's birthday cake; the pleasure of wearing a beautiful, provocative red dress; and how to be grateful rather than guilty when someone brings lasagna to the door." 6 / 12 Breast Cancer Husband What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Breast cancer doesn't just affect women, and this book by Marc Silver is directed at supportive partners. Breast Cancer Husband: How to Help Your Wife (and Yourself) Through Diagnosis, Treatment and Beyond offers medical info, coping strategies, and more. 7 / 12 Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who said cancer and comedy can't ever go together? In Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person: A Memoir in Comics, no topic is off limits. Miriam Engelberg tackles wigs, sex, nausea, and even what not to say to women with breast cancer. 8 / 12 Stealing Second Base What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stealing Second Base: A Breast Cancer Survivor's Experience and Breast Cancer Expert's Story is the story of living on the flip side: Lillie Shockney went from medical professional to patient herself. The book chronicles her journey to a now survivor and expert speaker on the subject. 9 / 12 Nordie's at Noon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nordie's at Noon: The Personal Stories of Four Women "Too Young" for Breast Cancer is about four women who face breast cancer before the age of 30. Patti Balwanz, Kim Carlos, Jennifer Johnson, and Jana Peters get together once a month for lunch at Nordstrom's café and through telling their personal experiences, share stories on courage and how you can be proactive about your own health. 11 / 12 Uplift What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Uplift: Secrets from the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer Survivors by Barbara Delinsky is considered one of those ultimate guides for dealing with breast cancer. Offering hundreds of tips from breast cancer patients, it includes suggestions like what kind of deodorant to use during radiation and what type of exercise to do after a mastectomy. 11 / 12 Don't Bet Against Me! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Deanna Favre, Brett Favre's wife, uses Don't Bet Against Me!: Beating the Odds Against Breast Cancer and in Life to shed light on how to overcome tragedy, including her own breast cancer and several deaths in her family — and how her faith played a major role along the way. 12 / 12 44 9 16 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Breast Cancer Awareness MonthWomenBooks women Disney Princesses as the Women of Game of Thrones 13 hours ago The Rules of Feminism and More Fetch Lessons From Mean Girls 2 days ago Hunt For Eggs in Your Sunday Best With These Vintage Ladies 3 days ago A History of Onscreen Women and Abortion 6 days ago Emma Watson on Boyfriends, Feminism, and Kissing 1 week ago Why Romance Novels Can Be More Empowering Than Sci-Fi 1 week ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Die hohe Schule des Violinspiels (David, Ferdinand)
Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
(Redirected from Die hohe Schule des Violinspiels)
General Information
|Work Title
|Die hohe Schule des Violinspiels
|Alternative Title
Misc. Comments
This extremely popular collection of 20 eighteenth-century works was arranged by Ferdinand David and first published by Breitkopf & Härtel in May of 1867, with another 3 works appearing in October of 1872. Along with several reissues by Breitkopf, the collection was extensively reprinted by other publishers in the decades following David's death, most often with editorial additions from well-known violinists and pedagogues. Despite some serious criticism from the musicologist Hans Joachim Moser for indulging in heavy and overly romantic editing of the original works, the collection remains an important milestone in the re-introduction of Baroque style.
- It was also issued in a viola version Die hohe Schule des Violaspiels in 1899, arranged by Friedrich Hermann
- The series Die hohe Schule des Violoncellspiels arranged by Friedrich Grützmacher, published by Breitkopf 1891-1905, contains 11 different works, only three of which are from the Baroque period.
- See also the detailed article at CHASE.

Dons boss Ardley will raise a glass over Christmas, but not too many
9:00am Tuesday 24th December 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
The festive party season is upon us, but Neal Ardley says his own party life is well and truly behind him.
While the Dons players must watch their yule-tide extravagances ahead of League Two matches on Boxing Day at home to Southend United, on December 29 at home to Plymouth and New Year's Day at Dagenham & Redbridge, the boss could be forgiven for letting his hair down.
However, Ardley appears to be leading by example – or is it by chance?
"I was more of a drinker when I was a player, which is probably the wrong way round really," he said.
"My social life has gone down the pan. I don't really like going out and having loads and loads to drink.
"I love a glass of wine indoors at the weekend, and on Christmas day I will have a few glasses of wine with the family during dinner, and enjoy it.
"But I will always be thinking about the next day.
"Come Boxing day, I'll want to get up, go for a nice run and clear my head, and get ready to go for it in the afternoon."
He added: "Everything in moderation. That's the way these days."

This issue highlights the latest news on transportation funding as the current bill expires at the end of this month.
There are no news advisories at this time.
The North Florida TPO will host a series of public meetings over the next two weeks to get input on transportation needs for the next 20-25 years. Transportation projects must be included in the Long Range Transportation Plan to receive federal funding. The meetings will feature maps and lists of potential project needs identified during the last long range plan update, as well as numerous studies that included public input. The potential projects will be displayed at five stations: Bicycle and Pedestrian; Transit; Freight; Road Capacity; Safety and TSM&O (Transportation System Management & Operations). You will have the opportunity to "vote" for how much to invest in these categories by allocating 10 tokens among the stations. The TPO is also seeking comments on specific projects and recommendations for additional projects to consider.
Good work zone planning, design, and operations practices are important in design-build projects, but may need to be applied somewhat differently because of how project processes differ from traditional design-bid-build. FHWA has developed a series of products on incorporating work zone safety and mobility considerations in design-build projects. The series includes four documents: key considerations; tips for developing requests for proposal; case studies; and a summary leaflet on successes, challenges, and tips.
This document is designed to provide more in-depth information and guidance on the types of work zone safety and mobility performance measures practitioners deem useful within categories of safety, mobility, customer satisfaction, and agency and/or contractor efficiency and productivity. The Guide describes data needed to (1) compute measures, (2) evaluate work zone exposure, and (3) stratify data to describe when and where the work zone impacts are occurring. The Guide identifies methods of obtaining data and summarizes key considerations associated with each type of data.
Current Federal Regulations (23 CFR 630 Subpart J) encourage States to collect and analyze data to support the initiation and enhancement of agency-level processes and procedures addressing work zone impacts. This tri-fold brochure summarizes several resources, developed by FHWA, to provide practitioners with the skills to identify current as well as potential/new data sources for use in work zone performance measurement, assist in determining how to select and compute useful work zone performance measures, and the viability of each source for work zone performance measurement.
Institutional issues provide challenges to implementing congestion pricing strategies. The primer explores the types of institutional issues that are commonly encountered with priced lanes, zone-based pricing, and parking pricing programs. These issues include the up-front challenges of establishing leadership, meeting legislative requirements, and setting an organizational structure. Once the challenges are overcome, there are numerous institutional issues related to the planning process, public involvement and implementation procedures. The primer examines these topics with the insights gained from case study applications around the United States and Europe.
